Judge Rules Malaguti’s Sexual Complaint on Paul, FrivolousLondonderry TimesIn a scathing 20-page order, Superior Court Judge, Andrew Schulman, found Town Manager, Michael Malaguti, made a “frivolous s*xual harassment complaint” against former Town Councilor, Deb Paul. In addition, the judge found Malaguti and the town of Londonderry improperly tried to shield the document from the public. Even after being ordered by the court to turn over the document, it took 30-days to comply.The complaint was made during the final weeks of Deb Paul’s term as a Town Councilor, and according to Paul, the issue more or less highlighted what she felt she had to deal with throughout her term.The complaint was filed with the council against Paul because of a comment she made on Feb. 6 and it took her eight months to get a copy of the complaint.During the Feb. 6 Town Council meeting, Paul tried to explain why she felt having the Town Planner and Economic Developer take on a dual role was a conflict. She stated, “... that’s a conflict of interest with the Planner being in economic development. You have someone seducing businesses to come here and then looking at their plans. That’s not a conflict of interest?”Malaguti took exception to this statement, filing a complaint to the Town Council following the meeting.Hours before the next council meeting on March 6, a meeting that would be Paul’s final one, Town Council Chairman, John Farrell, asked Paul to get there early to discuss something. When asked what it was in regards to, he responded that he had a document he needed to show her.The document was a complaint letter that Malaguti had drafted on Feb. 12. She briefly read the letter, and asked for a copy, but was told it wasn’t a public document, the town would be retaining it.Feeling that this was not a document protected from being released to the public, she asked her lawyer, Kevin Coyle, to make an inquiry to have the document released. He too was denied. Shortly after that, Coyle filed for a hearing with the state superior court to have the document released.Three months later on June 1, Judge, Andrew Schulman, heard both sides of the case appearing in Superior Court. Malaguti attended the hearing, along with town attorney, Elizabeth Bailey, Farrell, and councilor, Chad Franz. The town argued that it was a letter pertaining to an employee and exempt from 91-A request and Paul argued that it was a public document, since it was released to the Town Council and imagined it had been shared with others. After that hearing, nearly five months later on Thursday, Oct. 26, the judge ruled in Deb Paul’s favor.The “Final Order” from the judge was a 20-page document that stated, “The court not only disagrees with the town (and that is enough), but finds the town’s position to be objectively unreasonable,” and ordered the town to provide with the requested documents and pay Paul’s attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with this matter because “this lawsuit was necessary to enforce compliance with RSA Chapter 91-A, and the town should have known that its position was unlawful.”Schulman said, “Michael J. Malaguti, filed a frivolous complaint against plaintiff, Deb Paul, under the Town’s Policy Against Harassment. Schulman also noted, “Malaguti’s complaint was grounded solely on his objection to statements Councilor Paul made at a public Town Council meeting on Feb. 6, 2023. Essentially, Councilor Paul opined that a recent staff reorganization created an inherent “conflict of interest” by combining the roles of Planning Director and Director of Economic Development. In Paul’s view, the roles are in tension because the Economic Development director is charged with enticing businesses to move to or expand their presence in the town, while the Planning director must ensure that all proposed plans conform to the town’s land use restrictions. This means that the Planning director must sometimes tell business owners “no.”Schulman also stated, “Malaguti made two claims in his harassment complaint. First, he insisted that Councilor Paul’s reference to “seducing businesses” amounted to s*xual harassment. Malaguti argued that the phrase was “abhorrent” because (a) the current Town Planner/Development director is female, (b) the term has “s*xual overtones” and “refer[s] directly to s*xual encounters,” and (c) Councilor Paul had previously raised similar concerns regarding the combined role of Town Planner/Development Director with Malaguti, who is male, without using any form of the word “seduce.” Second, Malaguti claimed that the language quoted above “publicly disparage[ed] one of my subordinates by suggesting she lacks integrity.”Malaguti’s letter stated, “Councilor Paul’s use of words carrying s*xual overtones, or more accurately, referring directly to s*xual encounters, is abhorrent, and I doubt Councilor Paul would have used these words to refer to a male or an older female.”He also took issue with Councilor Paul publicly disparaging one of his subordinates by suggesting she lacks integrity.Malaguti’s complaint finished with, “I am a white male. But count me among those who have no interest in working for an employer that would tolerate such conduct.”In the Order, the Judge commented, “The substance of Malaguti’s compliant is a matter of public record. Councilor Paul’s comments were made in the public session of a public hearing.” He added, “The town’s residents have a right to know how the person they hired to manage the town’s administration does his job. The town has bestowed considerable authority in Malaguti. It has a legitimate interest in monitoring how he uses or abuses that authority. Likewise, the town has a keen interest in how its elected officials behave.By contrast, the town has only a minimal interest in nondisclosure.Public disclosure of a s*xual harassment complaint may chill future complaints. An employee with a good faith claim of s*xual harassment may be dissuaded from making a report if they believed it would become a public document. In this case the highest-ranking administrative officer of a town made a frivolous complaint against an elected official to punish the elected official’s constitutionally protected speech. The disclosure of this compliant should have no chilling effect on future good faith complaints.”The judge used the word “frivolous” five times in the 20-page document describing the Town Managers action.Coyle was shocked with what transpired after the Right-to-Know request, “What should have taken the town two minutes and maybe 15 cents to comply with a simple RSA 91-a request has cost the town over $15,000. The town’s hostility to the public’s right to know is astounding.”He said, “The request Deb made was for what was very clearly a public document. That the town fought so hard to shield Malaguti from embarrassment is astounding.”Coyle also added, “Having done RSA 91-a work for over 25-years, I tried very hard to get them to turn over the document without going to court. We gave them a lot of chances to just simply comply with the law. The town wasted valuable public resources. The Town Council should look at the judge’s order and reevaluate how they respond to these requests. Just follow the law.”Paul found the judge’s decision validating, “This was the kind of thing I dealt with on a fairly regular basis as a member of the Town Council. I needed to guard my every word, fearing that someone would claim some sort of conflict.”Paul added, “This ordeal has been a waste of taxpayer resources, if the manager felt so strongly about his opinion, why wouldn’t he have just released the document. It took two attorneys, countless hours, and a judge to find that what was done was wrong. The judge’s conclusion solidified that the whole matter was frivolous.”She said, “There’s been a lot of talk at recent council meetings about how much work and money it takes to deal with 91-A requests and this is a prime example of why they are being made. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to take it to this extreme to get public documents.” Malaguti declined to comment on the judges ruling. The Complaint Letter and judges Final Order can be found with the on-line edition being posted on Friday.
Yikes!

Upcoming School Board Meetings
If you agree, please email our town manager and town council members. Be sure it is written, and put in the record.
Contrary to the town's public statement as reflected in the article of the Eagle Tribune among several others;
While the town may not have the unilateral authority to dismiss the elected budget committee member Tim Siekmann from his public office, the town DOES enjoy the right to petition county court for such dismissal, and therefore does enjoy some right of redress. I did not see that noted in the statement from the town and I wonder if the town conveniently left it out. Please see the applicable NH law below:
RSA 42:1 Oath Required. – Every town officer shall make and subscribe the oath or declaration as prescribed by part 2, article 84 of the constitution of New Hampshire and any such person who violates said oath after taking the same shall be forthwith dismissed from the office involved
It is my petition and request as a citizen of the town, a property owner and parent of three children in this District, that said petition for removal from office be made to Rockingham County Court by the town of Londonderry, to dismiss budget committee member Timothy Siekmann for violation of his Budget Committee oath of office.
His attached both of office, signed off by Town Clerk Sherry Farrell, states that he will faithfully and impartially discharge all duties incumbent upon him as a member of the Londonderry Budget committee.
One of the duties of the Londonderry budget committee is to closely work with and advise the school district, and the budget committee is irretrievably intertwined with the school district warrant article process and the voter deliberative session that occurs every year.
Although all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty, the very nature of the child s*x crimes that Timothy Siekmann has been accused of, and the fact that the Courts found such accusations as to be credible enough to prosecute carry significant weight in and of themselves.
Until such a time as a court ultimately dispositions Mr. Siekmanns case, I charge that he cannot reasonably uphold any of the 3 tenets of a fiduciary agent on behalf of the School District OR the Town of Londonderry.
The charges he is facing call into question his ability to exercise a duty of care, regarding prudent judgment and decision making as a public official in the community.
The charges he is facing call into question his ability to exercise a duty of loyalty; someone accused of child s*x crimes cannot be presumed to reasonably be upholding the interests of the School District, which ultimately has the welfare and goodness of students at heart; these criminal charges are directly antithetical to the mission of the Londonderry School District
And lastly, the charges against him call into question his ability to exercise a duty of obedience, as he cannot reasonably participate in required budget committee activities scheduled to physically occur on school district property on August 24th 2023 according to the official town calendar.
I have communicated with the school district to see if they were going to advise on a no trespass order, to ensure that this fiduciary agent facing child s*x charges will not be present at the budget committee walkthrough on the 24th; I received an unsubstantial reply from the school district so it appears my town must take the lead in protecting our children.
Please advise in writing if the town will be filing this petition, as there IS an opportunity for redress that the Town enjoys under New Hampshire law. If the county court does not agree that child s*x charges compromise his ability to be a budget committee member for the school district, then they are welcome to reject the Town's petition. If the Town chooses not to file this petition, it is going to have to explain to the voters and the public why.
Please come to the town council and school board meetings. If the leadership doesn’t get feedback from the community we send a message that we condone and agree with this.
The press releases from town regarding the pedofiles arrest from the last week and today.
I’m pretty sure each elected member signs as oath of office and ethics… apparently p**nogrpahic images of little girls isn’t enough to remove someone from a seat- even when they violated their oath. He needs to be removed.
About the bus driver- he drove teenage girls to Maine last weekend for cheerleading. Not as a full time bus driver for the district, on contract. So why didn’t the district make an effort to look into his record?
Londonderry bus driver -yet another pedofile.

LONDONDERRY — A longtime member of the town Budget Committee arrested July 14 on multiple charges of child p**nography will continue to serve in the elected position until his term
The message being sent by the the Londonderry Town Council and Town Manager by not releasing a formal statement or announcement of the below arrest is disturbing and quite contrary to prior protocol.
Within 12-24 hours of last years Old Home Days parade a formal statement was issued regarding a WWI replica vehicle dawning a controversial flag that added itself to the parade following a particular political candidate convoy. That was also an over the weekend event.
Where is the statement? Where does the council stand on this elected individual and his child p**n charges? Why is there no community information and official statement?
By choosing not to making a statement and by leaving this persons name on the town website not only does it demonstrate a double standard for how the council and town manager address incidents that impact our community but it borders on the appearance of bias.
The flag that was offensive to some did not put this community and our children at risk. This pe*****le is.
For almost a year there has been an active investigation and this information was kept from the community while the “trustee” maintained his position. He was allowed to not only work the election in March but ran for an electable seat without disclosing this information to our community.

I had the pleasure of speaking on Londonderry’s The View, sharing my background, reasons for running, and the changes our district desperately needs. I would be honored to have your vote March 8th, so we can make these changes together!
𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: I will bring an equitable representation of community input back into the decision-making process of the board by providing additional transparency and visibility in spending. We, as a community, should evaluate how the over 80-million-dollar budget that the board currently manages could be better leveraged. We also need to seek out alternatives for expanding the services available to all our learners without continuing to raise taxes. Each student deserves to have their learning needs met and should have access to the services they are entitled to. Do you know where your tax dollars are going?
In case you missed the local Epidemiologist speak, last night. An actual expert in infectious disease, who the board has ignored. She has emailed them more than once, to offer her insight, and never got a response. Here are her credentials: “I have a B.S. degree in Cellular physiology and Molecular biology. I am an MT and Specialist in Microbiology (ASCP-American society of Clinical Pathologists). I also have a MSPH in Epidemiology. I have worked 26 years in a clinical Microbiology and Molecular biology lab. I have performed PCR testing. I also worked for five years in Research and Development in Diagnostic devices which use molecular biology to detect Sepsis. I then spent Five years working in the Pharmaceutical industry in Pharmacovigilance (Drug Safety) in regulatory compliance. My entire career has been centered around infectious diseases and diagnosis, preventions, immunology, Epidemiology and drug safety.”
